THE DAYS OF GIANTS.

No Important Difference in the Size OF
Primitive and Modern Men.
An opinion was current, in the last century,
that our ancestors, at some time in the past,
were the equals or superioTs in size of the
largest men now to be found. NJ. Henrion
presented to the Academic des Inscriptions,
in IT'S, a memoir on the variations in the
size of man from the beginning of the world
till the Christian era, in which Adam was
given 1913 feet 9 inches and Eve 118 feet 81
inches. But after the first pair the human
race, in his imagination, suffered a regular
decrease, so that Noah was only 100 feet high.
while Abraham shrank down to % feet,
Moses to 10 feet, the mighty Hercules to 10
feet 811 inches and Alexander the Great to a
bare 61S feet. The communication, it is said,
was received with enthusiasm and was re-
garded, at the time, as a ~"wonderful dis
covery" and a sublime vision"
The complaint about the degeneracy of the
human race is not new, but dates as far back
as the time of Homer, at least; for the men of
his day were not like the heroes of whom he
sang. It is not confirmed, but c~ontradicted,
by all the tangible facts, and these are not a
few. Human remains that are exhumed,
after having reposed in the grave for many
centuries, as in the catacombs Of Paris, have
nothing gigantic about them The armor,
the cuirasses and the casques Of the warriors
Of the middle ages can be worn by modern
soldiers, and many Of the knights suits
would be too small for the crirassiers of the
European armies; yet they were worn by the
selected men, who were better fed, stronger
and more robust than the rest of the popula-
ton. The bones Of the ancient Gauls, which
are uncovered in the excavations of tumuli,
while they are Of large dimensions, are COM
parable with those of the existing populations
Of many places in France.
7 Egyptian mummies are the remains of
persons of small or medium stature, as are
also the Peruvian and Mexican mummies and
the mummies and bores found in the ancient
monuments of India and Persia. And even
the most ancient relics we possess of individ-
uals of the human species, the bones of men
who lived in the tertiary period, an epoch
the remote antiquity of which goes back for
hundreds of centuries, do not show any i'm.
portaut differences in the sizes of the print
tive and of the modern man.-Populaz

MARQUIsE DE MOREs.
The Lady Reported to be Seeking u d.
vorce Because of the bad Temper of Her
Distinguished

vorce Because of the bad Temper of Her
Distinguished Husband.
New York Special: News comes from
Paris that the wife ofthe Marquis de Mores
is preparing to enter suit for divorce
against her husband. It has been known
to the friends of the family for some time
that Marquise de Mores had become dis
satisfied with her married life, n they
expected she would seek a separation.
Marouise de Mores before marriage was
known as Miss Won Hoffman. She is the
Youngest daughter of Baron Louis A. Won
Hoffman, the Wall street banker. and has
an extensive acquaintance in this city.
She has been living in Paris with her
mother for the last four months. Mr..
Won Hoffman could not be seen to-day,
but q friend who said that he knew all
about the difficulty stated that the mar
quise could not stand the temper OF her
husband. The latter, he further stated.
had become very p~arsimonious OF late
and for that cause, as also because OF bis
bad treatment, the marQuise is
ANXIOUS TO BE DIVORCED.
Those who know the marquis say he is lar
from wealthy. He married Miss Won Hoff-
man on the occasion of a visit to this
country. He went out West shortly after
and established a town in Montana. which
he called Medora, in honor of his wife. He
ventured into a number OF schemes, and
started the National Consumers Neat
company. It is said that he lost a great
deal of money, but those who pretend TO
know declare that he could not lose that
which he had not. He sold out his shares
in the company. and the manager OF the
concern. Grimshaw. had him arrested here
on q civil action for not fulfilling a con
tract. The csse never came to trial. Inc
marquis, after his release from prison,
vent to Paris to join his wife. who had
gone in advance. Everybody speaks in
the highest terms Of the marqnise. Before
her marriage she was a great s%portswoman,
being particularly noted as a fne not ann
| crack horse rider. The marquis is a tall
| hs ndsome man. He is about thlrty-two
years OF age, but does not appear to be
twenty-five.

RELIGIOUS Parrot.

John II. Arnold, of Ballston, has
curiosity in the shape OF a parrot. Som
time ago it was noticed that the birt
would try and follow Mr.. Arnold's littl
girl when she said the Lords prayer on re
firing at night. The bird has kept OF: Ion
night to night, until he can repeat tn
whole prayer. Some evenings he will re
peat it several times. But at no otheI
time in the day is it possible to get hil,
to repeat it, and no one can induce him tt
repeat it more than once in the evening but
Mr.. Arnold's daughter. We are informed
that the parrot used to be very profane
but lately he has given up the habit 0
using oaths.

A star fell from the zenith bright,
Adown it swept, a track Of light.
A spirit left its earthly home,
Through %boundless unknown tracts to roam.
They marked the two, the star, the soul;
They said, so long as time shall roll,
When falls q star from boundless height,
A spirit too shall take its flight.
Unknown, unseen by mortal eye, -
Each night a star falls from the sky;
Unknown, unsung by mortal song, .
Each second bears q soul along.

The Miner by the Rocky Mountain Tela.
sraph.J-A meeting. of the Board :,
Trade for the purpose of discussing tbe
question OF county division, was largely
attended by representative business men
n heavy taxpayers. This meeting was
brought about by the citizens of Great
Falls. Who propose introducing the Cas-.
cade bill at the special session Of the Leeis.
lature to convene next week. The result
OF the meeting was that the citizens Of fort
benton. without any desire to interfere
with the plans or wishes Of Great Falls, do
o think it in condition to be divided at
present on account of the heavy
LOSS LAST wNTER IN STOCK.
There lie now scarcely enough assessable
property to support one county and there
are numerous other reasons why it should
not now be divided. Z The sentiment
those present was that if the citizens of
Great Falls will defer introduc-
ing this bill at the special session that they
would have no difficulty in securing favor
able action at the next general session
the approval of Fort Benton and
other parts Of the county, as it is thought
BY that time there will be sufficient wealth
to support q new county.
